That’s a big road win in a back to back for Atlanta coming off of a loss to Portland. Kings remain just a truly bizarre basketball team that I still am struggling to place within the tapestry of the NBA this season.

Obviously lot of dudes out tonight for SAC with a ton of Len, McDermott and McLaughlin minutes, but this was an awesome opportunity for Murray/Huerter to step up and it didn’t happen tonight at least.
Keon Ellis with the monster game was incredibly fun though.
Missing 3 rotation players, let alone 2 being all stars and a 6moty candidate, is pretty difficult to work with in general. Hawks matched up well with the current Kings because Daniels can mitigate Fox and force role players to kill them. In the 4th, they got good looks they just missed
I mean, we're all constantly trying to figure all of this out. Think with the Kings I'm just at the point where I'm not making any set in stone evaluations right now though on their overall team.
We've seen teams like them before...built so heavily on offense and struggling hard to find any defensive consistency. It's so hard to believe in being able to sustain like that. Especially in the west.
I mean, Domas, DeRozan and Monk out and Kevin his usual “hot or cold” wasn’t that bizarre. But we all are certainly still waiting to see what the Kings can really be this season.
Sam the Kings shot 60% from 3 and hit 14 3s in the first half, were only leading by 2 at half time and then lost. It’s one of the most bizarroworld performances I’ve seen.

Huerter is a big question mark. Needs to turn it around quick.
Murray's struggles dont concern me too much with his great defense. But is suboptimal to say the least.
+ swallowing the whistle for someone who’s earned that whistle is wild.
